On this episode of the BanterFlix CineCast, I take on hosting duties while Richard and Jim share their experiences as attendees at the 68th Edinburgh Film Festival.
Running from 18-29 June, the EIFF is the longest continually running film festival in the world and has developed into a key attraction for Edinburgh, and one of the world’s best -loved audience festivals. With an emphasis upon new talent, discovery and innovation, this year’s festival saw the screening of 122 new features from 47 different countries with at least 10 premieres every day. Cold in July, Coherence, Anatomy of a Paper Clip are just a few examples of the films on offer this year.
Podcast features reviews from quite a few films, including the one film from the programme that I had seen - Bong Joon-Ho's post-apocolyptic science fiction thriller Snowpiercer, starring Chris Evans, John Hurt and Tilda Swinton.
The podcast also features interviews with Jim Mickle, Elijah Wood, Andy Goddard and Steven Mackintosh who all attended this year’s festival. We also had a chance to sit down with Empire Magazine’s Chris Hewitt and chatted about the film magazine’s 25th anniversary celebrations.
Maybe next year I'll get to go, but until then I'll just have to take the rest of the Banterflix team at their word and apply to attend next year!
